The screen is super clear and the rubberized sides are easy to hold onto, and just the right size for my 4 year olds hands.

The screen is very unresponsive to your gestures.

After the second day, the screen started blanking out.

"mom friends" purchased different kinds of Tablets in all different $$$ amounts and after a few days the kids don't even touch them anymore, every once and a while they'll pick it up for a few minutes but they grew bored and all that $$ spent is wasted.

Two weeks later i received a replacement tabeo in the mail; As soon as we turned it on it all we got was a blurry screen.

The camera had a nag notice the entire time that there was no more memory even though it only had 3-10 pictures on it.

For just $50 more, you can buy a Nabi 2 - which has the Tegra 3 processor.

Performance Real world tests of Toys”R”Us Tabeo

cpu speed

it has a fast processor, its up on line almost as soon as you hit the browser.
Tabeo by Bashful (Oct, 2012)
The Tabeo seemed like a great compromise; close to the same price as the Kindle Fire and Leap Pad 2 I was considering, the added comfort of kid friendly accessories like tougher glass, a rubber case, a 1 GHZ processor, and 4 GB internal memory didn't seem like a bad deal for the money.

battery life

7 hour
11.5 hour
10 hour
Then when it did work you had to charge it for hours to get about 45 minutes of play time out of it even with wifi turned off!!!! Buy the Nabi 2 MUCH better product!

Additionally, we would fully charge both of these and the battery would drain after an hour.

I also love the internet wifi connection that parents can control.

We can also add an SD card for more memory, if needed.

It's basically the Nexus 7 (what most experts are agreeing to be the Android tablet currently to beat).

Battery

The second week in January I had to send it back to the manufacturer because the charger portal came lose and you could not plug it in to charge.

Battery life

It takes about 4 hours to download but once it's all transferred to the Tabeo it's good to go.

First of all the battery life was only about 45 minutes and then it was dead, and then it crashed after one day.

Like others here, it would not charge at all.

Operating system

the Nabi 2's stats Wreck this hands down, the Nabi is on par with the Original Nexus 7 and it has dedicated learning software and kids channel.

Hope this helps because I was already beside myself before I finally figured out it comes as a shell and you have to load the operating system yourself sort to say.

Which means, of course, that you will soon have to buy another tablet sooner rather than later, because it won't be long before the Tabeo won't be able to keep up with software development.

There are no Android market/ Google play apps even though it's an android device.

I could only load songs ONE at a time!! The android system seems antiquated.

The Kindle Fire was a great option because of the Android operating system and my daughter is already experienced with Android apps and functionality.
